D
He's drinking cold Corona

Feels like is getting older

Now and noticing how he's finding

Grey hairs left in the shower

Tattoos fade by the hour
EmA
And he can't understand these feelings

When life has been unkind
EAA/G
And you're losing your mind
F#BmBm/AEm
Look in the mirror afraid of what you'll find
GmDADAD
It feels like time's not on your side
Verse 2 (Same chords)
He doesn't like to mention
Applying for his pension
So his children don't know he's heading
Into a mid-life crisis
He cant afford the prices for
The new kitchen floor he's buying
Pre chorus 2
He's been a drunk all his life
Two kids, a dog and a wife
He doesn't know
And in the daytime he just sits and watches television shows
Chorus

C#m? A
Dont know why but somehow
C#m?
The ones you love you hate now,
BE
You feel down and blue
C#m
Look at what you've thrown away
B
They stood beside you all the way
